Devices and systems for material transportation
Abstract
Various embodiments relate to devices for transporting high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU). A device may include at least one section, wherein each section of the at least one section includes a number of storage tubes. Each storage tube, which is configured to receive and hold a container, extends from adjacent a first end of the section toward a second, opposite end of the section. Each section further includes a number of flux traps, wherein each storage tube of the number of storage tubes is at least partially surrounded by a flux trap of the number of flux traps Associated systems are also disclosed.
